NGF-mediated photoablation of nociceptors reduces pain behavior in mice

This paper describes a method to selectively photoablate nociceptors in mice using a modified NGF ligand and NIR light, reducing pain behaviors in multiple pain models.

Control of mechanical pain hypersensitivity through ligand-targeted photoablation of TrkB positive sensory neurons

This study identifies TrkB-expressing sensory neurons as key to mechanical allodynia and demonstrates their ablation as a treatment for neuropathic pain.

Molecule guided laser ablation as a novel therapeutic strategy to control itch.

This paper develops a molecule-guided laser ablation strategy to control itch by targeting itch-sensing neurons in mouse models of skin diseases.
